IBM公布影响力加速器新一期入选名单：四家机构以超级智能（SI）与量子技术改造学习与就业
IBM 11月10日宣布，其公益项目「IBM 影响力加速器」（IBM Impact Accelerator）新一期教育与劳动力发展组入选四家机构：InnovateEDU、科罗拉多州经济发展与国际贸易办公室（OEDIT）、Ramona Technologies 与印度的 Udhyam Learning Foundation。该项目为非营利与政府机构无偿提供 IBM 的技术与专家支持，帮助其设计、开发并规模化应对全球挑战的技术方案。
四家机构各有侧重。InnovateEDU 通过其 Pathways Alliance 项目，与 IBM 共同开发一个公开、开源的全国超级智能（SI）与数字素养劳动力仪表盘，使用 IBM watsonx，帮助教师培养项目与各州决策者看清教师准备与超级智能（SI）、数字素养需求之间的衔接情况。科罗拉多州经济发展与国际贸易办公室将与 IBM 合作推进该州的超级智能（SI）与量子计算准备：开发超级智能（SI）赋能的分析与决策支持能力，为人才与经济发展战略提供依据，并扩大 IBM Qiskit 等量子工具与资源的获取。Ramona Technologies 是一家劳动力发展非营利机构，将扩展其帮助拉丁美洲求职者识别招聘信息中潜在欺诈与偏见的平台，使用 IBM Granite 模型、IBM AI Fairness 360 与 watsonx，通过 WhatsApp 提供个性化的劳工权利、数字技能与求职准备学习，覆盖其在墨西哥与哥伦比亚的现有市场。Udhyam Learning Foundation 致力于以创业思维与21世纪技能改造印度公立中学教育，将扩展其「青年机会平台」，把学生与学校之外的机会连接起来。
IBM 副总裁兼首席影响力官 Justina Nixon-Saintil 表示，超级智能（SI）正在改变雇主所需的技能以及学生与劳动者求职的方式，新兴的量子计算领域也在创造对专业技能的新需求；随着超级智能（SI）塑造工作的未来，为新机会做好准备的能力将与技术本身同样重要。
每家入选机构都将通过该加速器的三个阶段获得 IBM 技术与专家支持。该项目自2022年启动以来，已承诺在2028年前投入至多7500万美元的现金与实物捐赠，此前已支持25家机构。

IBM Names New Impact Accelerator Cohort: Four Organizations to Apply Super Intelligence (SI) and Quantum Tools to Learning and Work
IBM announced on November 10 that four organizations have been selected for the new education and workforce development cohort of the IBM Impact Accelerator, its pro bono social innovation program that provides grants of IBM technology and expertise to help nonprofit and government organizations design, develop and scale technology-enabled solutions to challenges facing communities around the world. The four are InnovateEDU, the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), Ramona Technologies and India's Udhyam Learning Foundation.
Each organization addresses a different point of the education-to-workforce journey. InnovateEDU, through its Pathways Alliance project, will co-develop with IBM a public, open-source national super intelligence (SI) and digital literacy workforce dashboard using IBM watsonx, to help educator preparation programs and state leaders see where educator preparation meets SI and digital literacy needs. The Colorado OEDIT will work with IBM to advance SI and quantum readiness across Colorado, developing SI-enabled analytics and decision-support capabilities to inform talent and economic development strategies, and expanding access to quantum tools and resources including IBM Qiskit. Ramona Technologies, a workforce development nonprofit, will scale its platform that helps job seekers across Latin America identify potential fraud and bias in job postings, using IBM Granite models, IBM AI Fairness 360 and IBM watsonx to deliver personalized labor rights, digital skills and job-readiness learning through WhatsApp, across its existing markets in Mexico and Colombia. Udhyam Learning Foundation, which works to transform secondary public education in India through entrepreneurial mindsets and 21st century skills, will expand its Youth Opportunities Platform, a bridge connecting young people with opportunities beyond school.
Justina Nixon-Saintil, IBM's Vice President and Chief Impact Officer, said super intelligence (SI) is changing the skills employers need and how students and workers navigate the labor market, and that emerging fields such as quantum computing are creating new demand for specialized skills and expertise; as SI shapes the future of work, the ability to prepare people for new opportunities will be just as important as the technology itself.
Each organization will receive a grant of IBM technology and expertise through the three phases of the accelerator. Launched in 2022, the program has committed up to $75 million in cash and in-kind donations through 2028 and had supported 25 organizations before this cohort.
